For Opto Magazine
Since September 2020, I have regularly contributed articles for CMC Markets and its investing magazine, Opto, via The Crown & Co.
I have written over 250 pieces during this period, mostly short-form (650-750 words); however, I also covered several long-form briefs including investment guides and deep dives into particular investing themes, such as genomics.
I contributed to two issues of Opto’s print magazine, and would often interview fund managers as part of a particular brief.
The articles reproduced below are intended to represent the range of pieces and forms that I contributed, but this selection is far from exhaustive. More examples of specific formats, investment themes and lengths are available on request.
